Twinkle by HĀPU‘U

 

Twinkle by HĀPU‘U

I'll be the first to admit, I am not a songwriter. However since a lot of songs are in essence poems, there are a lot of written poetry in the public domain which one can choose to use as the base of new music.











So here we go with Twinkle by my hard rock / grunge band HĀPU‘U. They consist of four members... two guitarists, bass and a dummer. You know the standard rock band. Nothing new there except this one is just virtual. They don't exist. They are A.I. 

HĀPU‘U's first single is "Twinkle" and it is based on the nursery rhyme written in 1806 by an English poet named Jane Taylor.  From Wikipedia:

“Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” is an English lullaby. The lyrics are from an early-19th-century English poem written by Jane Taylor, “The Star”.[1] The poem, which is in couplet form, was first published in 1806 in Rhymes for the Nursery, a collection of poems by Taylor and her sister Ann. It is now sung to the tune of the French melody “Ah! vous dirai-je, maman”, which was first published in 1761 and later arranged by several composers, including Mozart with Twelve Variations on “Ah vous dirai-je, Maman”.[2] The English lyrics have five stanzas, although only the first is widely known."

The entire poem got adapted to the lyrics of this song.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star! How I wonder what you are, Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky.

When the glorious sun is set,When the grass with dew is wet, Then you show your little light,Twinkle, twinkle all the night.

In the dark-blue sky you keep, And often through my curtains peep,For you never shut your eye, Till the sun is in the sky.

As your bright and tiny spark Guides the traveller in the dark, Though I know not what you are, Twinkle, twinkle, little star!
